Club Guestbook

I'm very optimistic about our minors this year.
We have a great bunch of lads. Most played in a very young minor team last year and played great football... the sort l we've come to expect - free flowing, high intensity stuff. Equally importantly, we have great minor management in place. Lots of clubs would love to have senior management of their calibre and experience.

As I understand it,the Club were put in a horrible situation regarding the under 21 match. I think that the duty of care and avoidance of young player burnout that we hear so much about doesn't seem very evident in administrative circles!
The Club come out of this rather better that certain others.

I was at the minor championship final in Celtic Park. As a neutral in both finals, I feel well qualified to say that the Glen/Coleraine was much more enjoyable. Not only are Glen producing good teams (even when you have small numbers) but you encourage your teams to play a style that is a pleasure to watch. The same cannot be said for all the clubs in the county. You are earning the respect of gaels across the county. Good luck in your efforts.

Agreed. Its no coincidence that the top club sides have used the reserves as a springboard for senior success. The age profile of our seniors is obviously very young but it essential that lads get football (both senior & reserve) under their belt. We're in good hands though so I have every faith! #UTW

Hopefully, on the back of our minor success we will see lots of these lads progress on to senior football in the years to come. As apart of this transition we should see good sound performances in all reserve games. Surely, it is a realistic target that we finish high in the reserve league and have a crack at the reserve championship next year.

With the end of another season, can I thank all our players and mentors for the enjoyment they have given us and the hard work they have put in? Have a well earned rest over the next couple of months and let us redouble our efforts next year. We are living in exciting times, but we have experienced nothing yet compared to what lies ahead.

Congratulations to our minors who claimed silverware last weekend. They have been lucky enough to have wholehearted and dedicated players in the squad. Well done to the management team. With Derry Minors progressing so far this year it was enormously difficult to keep momentum going, but you managed it.

Well done to our minor team on Saturday. We owe a great big thank you to Bricker, Gary & the rest of their coaching team. You are great servants of our club. We are lucky to have you.
Many of these players have great years ahead of them in 'the green and gold'. Success is relative. This is no mean achievement given the age profile of the group.

More vandalism of our property with thugs entering the upper pitch and driving across it leaving tracks. A pattern of late Saturday night vandalism is emerging. I cannot imagine it to be run of the mill mindless vandalism as no one else's property is being damaged in the wider locality. If it is anti GAA in nature then they must think we are the only club around. Alternatively, it is someone who doesn't like our club in particular for some reason.
If so, lads, you might do your cowardly best on a Saturday night emboldened by a few jars but we'll still be there on Sunday morning.
A few years ago other people used to kill GAA members locking up grounds. It didn't deter these gaels. What make you think your petty efforts will work?

May I appeal to our members and supporters not to rise to bait being offered on social media by people who are no friends of our club. Do not give them the attention they crave. Let us remain dignified and we will do our talking on the field.

It is indeed heartening to read such positivity. It is also great to see our young men coming of age. Our season has been a success. We got to a senior county championship semi final for the first time in decades. We fielded a very young and understrength team against a very good team... one with arguably the best defence in the country - a team that could have easily be reigning All-Ireland club champions. We continue to develop and grow wiser and stronger. We will add great young players to this fantastic panel in the next few years. All the while the hard work continues. Enjoy the break! It starts again. Hasta la victoria siempre!

The comments below really do sum up where we are. I see a Club united and focused. Underage is progressing well and our Seniors have established themselves. They are young, and youth fears no one. I'm looking forward with the rest of you to the next few years!

Maith thu, Wackfod! Those of us who have been around through the long lean years see what is happening. A real community sprit is developing among our people. We have a group of young people and their families who are intensely loyal to their club. We know where we want to go and we will not be diverted from that goal. We are the envy of every other club. At underage tournaments you hear their coaches pointing us out to their children and telling them to watch how we play. It explains the invective we get on social media and from bullies in other clubs. They fear us and rightly so!

I am delighted with the last two comments. I arrived at the pitch one night last week and an underage camogie team were just leaving. There were 4 different teams training and a gathering of lads just down for a kick-about. Being as accurate as I could I counted 140 people togged out and participating in Gaelic games. The number of mentors, parents and interested others must have been 30-40.
On Sunday at The Club there was a huge turnout at the big breakfast function. Never have I seen the Club in a healthier position
Most importantly there is a mighty togetherness we will always support those in our group who are facing challenges now and in the future.

Firstly just a big thank you to the senior panel and management for their efforts in 2017. We have to remember that we are a young developing side and this year has been a another positive step in our development. With a bit more experience and know how we will get there!! Looking forward to 2018 already!! #UTW

Very proud of our seniors yesterday. To put things in perspective, it's only a few years since we were struggling against Foreglen in Celtic Park. The sensible people who know their football across the County understand where we are in terms of our development. Our trajectory is up... other's are plateauing or going downwards. I wouldn't swap places with any other team supporter across Ulster over the next ten years. Great days are on their way!

I agree with Wackford's last post regarding our U16 team. Well done! We are in a spell in which we may not be winning any under age trophies but these are not the truest measure of success. It is more important that our young players are being coached well, that good habits are being instilled and the right culture developing around all age groups. This is being done. The trophies will come along in their own time.
